MRI: Acquisition of a Simultaneous ICP-OES for Research and Teaching

1126281sun这项主要研究仪器拨款支持购买一台用于元素分析的电感耦合等离子体光学发射光谱仪（ICP-OES）。ICP-OES将支持教师和学生的研究，这些研究将受益于对水、土壤、矿物、岩石和植物组织中的碱土、过渡金属和卤素元素的快速、高精度和低检测限分析。应用于土壤的生物地球化学和风化过程、河流水化学和流域道路盐的影响、海滩沉积物组成和来源、过渡金属氧化物的催化行为以及重金属影响土壤的植物修复等研究。ICP-OES将支持该非博士学位学生的研究培训。资助机构和私人项目计划与当地社区学院开展外展活动。＊＊＊

1126281SunThis Major Research Instrumentation grant supports acquisition of an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) for elemental analysis. The ICP-OES will support faculty and student research that will benefit from rapid, high precision and low detection limit analysis of alkaline earth, transition metals and halogen elements in water, soil, minerals, rocks, and plant tissues.Applications to studies of the biogeochemistry and weathering processes in soils, stream water chemistry and the impacts of road salt in watersheds, beach sediment composition and provenance, the catalytic behavior of transition metal oxides, and phytoremediation of heavy metal impacted soils will be facilitated. The ICP-OES will support student research training at this non-Ph.D. granting institution and the PIs plan outreach activities with local community colleges. ***
